I'm not sure what I did was right, I knew damn well what Julie was going to do to Brandon, she beat the crap out of the poor guy. I'm sure I'll have to answer to the elders about my descision, but I made a promise to Julie that I'd be there for her no matter. I took her to the bank to get her money and told her that if she ever needed anything that I would be there for her. There wasn't much I could do; the elders would have to understand that. It wasn't worth losing her trust and having to send someone else and try to gain Julie's trust back.
After orbing her back to her place I was going to stay and talk but heard the jingle and had to orb back up there. I orbed and stood there as the others scolded me about my descisions and told me that I was acting different now and that I've changed.
I'm tired of having to pretend that I'm the "magnificent being" I want to spend time with my kids and wife. My Family. Can they honestly blame me for that? I know that I've been dealing with this ever since I've known Piper, but lately it's just...after Piper gave me this second chance, I want to make sure I don't mess this up. My family means everything to me...which includes Paige and Phoebe too. Speaking of Phoebe, I need to make a note to talk to Riley about Phoebe and see what he wants with her. If I have to, I'll orb him to a damn desert and leave him there to rot.
I apologized to the others even though I don't remember even hearing them talk to me. I orbed back to the manor and found Riley in the kitchen washing dishes. At least he didn't leave dirty dishes on the stove or in the sink, Piper would have killed him, hopefully he didn't mess with anything in the kitchen. I could see that he had two plates, he had made breakfast.
"Cooking breakfast?" I ask as I open the fridge and grab some juice and pour it into a cup and put the jug back into the fridge.
Riley turned around, "Yeah, figured I'd take breakfast up to Phoebe."
I drank some of the juice and then put the glass on the counter as I looked at him. "I'm not going to give you a long speech about hurting Phoebe, because I think you might care, but be careful. She's my sister and if you hurt her, you're going to wish you were dead. You won't be hiding from me, but two very pissed off sister's." I say.
Riley almost rolls his eyes but stops. "I know. I've heard it from her, she was in love with a demon. I'm not evil, just a normal guy who's in love with a witch. Everyday Darren."
I can't help but laugh about the bewitched comment, TVland was something I watched with the kids. "Just don't hurt her; she's been through a lot already." I say as I remember him freezing up during the fight, "If you can't handle what she does and who she is, then tell her now, be honest don't hide your feelings from her, you'll only hurt her more." I say finally before leaving Riley in the kitchen and walking upstairs to the nursery.
I picked Wyatt up and tossed him into the air and caught him as he started to giggle. "How's my big boy doing?" I ask as I play with him.
((Open to Piper and anyone else.))
